title: [Interauricular disparity of tone thresholds at 4 and 6kHz: functional differences between the best and the worst ear].
abstract: The predominant ear has been identified on the basis of binomial tests in 12 subjects at 4 kHz and in 6 subjects at 6 kHz. On an average its hearing thresholds are significantly lower than those of the other ear. At 4kHz its response to an acoustical stress appears to be proportionally more important than that of the other ear, but is equivalent at 6 kHz. For both frequencies recovery in the best ear proceeds significantly quicker than in the other ear.
